How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your patio in daylight with the widest view you can frame — the RivAI app needs the whole space to work with.
- 2Set the base: Teak Brown (#6B4A2F) for furniture, beams, carved panels.
- 3Choose furniture by climate - teak and powder-coated aluminum survive weather; untreated steel and wicker do not.
- 4Bring in solid teak and suar wood and volcanic stone and river pebbles — the two signature materials of Bali design.
- 5Add one statement piece: carved teak daybed with cream cushions.
- 6Finish with jungle leaf green (#3E5C3A) accents in textiles or decor, keeping them under 10% of the visual field.
Key materials
- Solid teak and suar wood
- Volcanic stone and river pebbles
- Rattan, bamboo and alang-alang thatch
- Terrazzo and polished concrete
- Hand-carved wooden panels and doors
Furniture to look for
- Carved teak daybed with cream cushions
- Stone bathtub or river-stone basin
- Four-poster bed with flowing white canopy
- Low teak coffee table on a natural fiber rug
- Carved wooden screen or room divider
Mistakes to avoid
- Skipping the drainage slope so water pools against the house foundation after every rain.
- Buying furniture too small for the space, making a large patio feel like a waiting room.
- Planning no shade, so the patio is unusable from noon to four in summer.
Budget tips
- Gravel or concrete paver patios are the cheapest to DIY and cost far less in materials than natural stone.
- Buy used metal or wood outdoor furniture and refinish it; frames outlast cushions by decades.
- String lights are the cheapest atmosphere upgrade - one 15-meter strand defines a whole zone.
